Abstract

Normally there is autoreactivity between subpopulations of lymphocytes. T lymphocytes respond to autologous non-T lymphocytes in co-culture by proliferation. In this study, we provide data to demonstrate that alloantigen primed peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from individuals of certain HLA types respond to autologous PBL in the primed lymphocyte test (PLT). This autoreactivity in PLT was found to be associated with HLA-B8/DR3 alloantigens.
